The folks at Wired.com are compiling an iPhone 3G performace map (http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/08/iphone-global.html) and are asking iPhone users to participate.

IPhone 3G network performance issues aren't isolated to the United States, and the time has come to collect global data. IPhone 3G owners from around the world: Wired.com needs your help. We've created an interactive ZeeMap, and we'd like you to report your iPhone 3G's 3G and EDGE download and upload speeds. We promise it's easy, and assuming your connections aren't grindingly slow, this should only take you about five minutes.

So, if you have 5 minutes, you can submit (http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/08/iphone-global.html) your speeds.

My 3G speed is about 4-5 times faster than EDGE =] but the EDGE where I am is about .8 times slower than the "normal"

My connection varies. At my house it switches to EDGE constantly but when I'm out, I have all bars for 3G and its extremely fast.

Despite being inside a 3G area, I get no service on my iPhone. Only EDGE works at my apartment. This is infuriating.

the only time my phone switches from 3g to edge is in the master bedroom near the toilet
